After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

Chapter 229: Plain gauze Zen robe!

She had already discussed with Madam Su and this time they were going to make a brand new fabric that had the beauty of Suzhou embroidery and the feel of Jiangnan silk, and was also going to be light and thin. This was also the first time that she and Madam Su had tried this innovative fabric, and she had to make it perfect so that the Japanese would completely surrender!

"Have you ever heard of Susha Zen Yi?"

what?

When Lou Yixiao heard this, he was also shocked, "Susha Zen Yi, it's impossible, you can't do it!"

Lou Yixiao stood up and said that it was impossible for them to make it. You know, the plain gauze Zen robe is as thin as paper, and the whole garment is smaller than a child's fist when folded up. This magical manufacturing method has been lost long ago. Over the years, no one, whether it is the silk weaving in Jiangnan or in the capital, has been able to make the corresponding craftsmanship!

Why? Because all the techniques of making Zen robes have been lost long ago. Today’s filaments cannot be used to make such light and thin silk fabrics. Even a master with superb craftsmanship cannot accomplish this.

Therefore, there is only one such dress in the world today, but it has long been used as a burial object to accompany the empress dowager in her eternal sleep in the underground palace. No one in the world has such craftsmanship anymore.

He had been the Seven Colors Weaving Master for many years and had seen no less than thousands of kinds of fabrics, but he had never seen a plain gauze Zen robe again. It was impossible to make long silk.

He believes it!

"If the monk doesn't believe it, then Li Qingwan must give it a try!"

"Li Qingwan, you are too bold. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because the Regent is helping you. I tell you, if you lose this competition, you will be nothing. You'd better think it over carefully. I think you can make other fabrics, after all, your craftsmanship is obvious to all. But you can't make this gauze dress. It's simply not something a human can make!"

What, it’s not something humans can do?

What do you mean?

"I don't understand what the abbot said!"

"You haven't heard of the legend of Zen Clothes?"

"legend?"

Li Qingwan took a deep breath. She had naturally never heard of it. She only knew that this craft had been lost long ago. However, Madam Su had a way to get silk as thin as a cicada's wing. She believed that as long as the silk was fine, she could weave plain gauze cloth.

"That's right. Rumor has it that a hundred years ago, the people who wove the Zen robes were ghosts. They were not human at all, and the things they used were naturally not something that humans could make. That's why there was silk as thin as a cicada's wing. But you have to know that it's not something that can be achieved by humans!"

"Then has the master ever heard the saying, man can conquer nature?"

"Li Qingwan, you will regret this!"

Lou Yixiao didn't expect her to be so stubborn. He didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he stood up immediately. "You guys take care of yourself. If you lose the game, no one can protect you. Besides, your future business will also be hit hard. Li Qingwan, is it worth it for you to do this?"

In his opinion, she could make other fabrics better than the Japanese and there was no need to take such risks, but Li Qingwan was confident.

"As long as there is hope, I want to give it a try!"

"Okay, this is what you said, I agree with you, but you only have a few days. If you lose, you know the consequences!"

After saying this, Lou Yixiao immediately stood up and left, not wanting to pay any attention to her at all. After he left, the maid Zi'er was also very worried.

"Miss, what kind of fabric is this Susha Zen robe made of? Why do you insist on making it?"

"Because I want the Japanese to see our China's most powerful silk weaving skills and make them stop stealing!"

"But……"

"No, it's up to us. I believe that with my skills and Mrs. Su's ability, we can make a new type of plain yarn fabric and defeat the Japanese!"

She was confident, but she also knew that this was indeed a huge challenge for her. However, the more difficult it was, the more she wanted to give it a try. This time, a piece of cloth made the Japanese shut up!

"But young lady, this is very difficult. Look, even the abbot is unwilling to support you!"

"That's him, but we can't easily deny ourselves. I believe man can conquer nature!"

After saying that, she was ready to get up and leave. "Let's go back to find Madam Su first and study silk reeling and silk cocoons carefully. I believe the secret lies there."

Although she had never seen what a real plain gauze Zen robe looked like, she had heard from her elders that it was the most prominent proof of silk weaving skills. Unfortunately, it had been used as a burial object.

Because it is a unique piece, it is also a national treasure!

But she also wanted to turn this unique piece into a fabric that everyone could enjoy.

"Miss, please!"

Just as Li Qingwan walked out of the restaurant, Ah Qing outside hurried forward and said, "Miss, Lord Wang has made an appointment. Are you going to meet him now?"

"You agreed to meet so soon?"

This Lord Wang is Sima Yue's great uncle, and old lady Sima wants him to help her. She wants to stop this matter!

"Yes, Lord Wang is waiting for you in Cuihonglou, you see..."

"Then go see him first!"

Li Qingwan was very busy. After meeting Lou Yixiao, she immediately went to find Lord Wang. After meeting her, Lou Yixiao went straight into the palace.

Go and ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Regent!

"Lou Yixiao wants to see the Regent!"

In the imperial study, the regent dressed in black was sitting there reviewing memorials.

"Come in!"

Outside, Lou Yixiao bowed to him as soon as he came in, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Regent, Your Majesty, you should try to persuade that Li Qingwan!"

what?

Hearing this, Mu Shenyin slowly lowered his eyes and glanced at Lou Yixiao who was kneeling on the ground. Yes, he was not only the businessman Mu Shenyin, he was also the regent of the palace.

Even though he disliked this identity, he had to accept it!

"What happened to Li Qingwan?"

"Your Highness, she is crazy. Japan has come to our court to compete with us, but she actually wants to cooperate with Madam Su to make a new style of Susha Zen clothing. Isn't she making fun of the court?"

"Susha Zen robe?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mu Shenyin looked at him with a complicated expression, "Has she looked for you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know she is yours, but if she does this, my dynasty will be laughed at by Japan. The silk weaving industry in Jiangnan is well developed, but white gauze has never been made. Li Qingwan is also a latecomer, she doesn't have this ability. If she can't make it, she loses, and that's not..."

"How do you know she can't do it?"

what?

Lou Yixiao knew that the Regent favored Li Qingwan, so he took good care of Li Qingwan last time. But he didn't expect that the Regent actually believed Li Qingwan?

Is the world crazy?

He has so many skilled craftsmen under him, but they can only make ordinary fabrics. It is very difficult to make complex ones. Li Qingwan has some talent, but he feels that she should not take risks in this competition.

If it were any other time it would be fine, but this was a competition between two countries, and Li Qingwan was somewhat ignorant of the immensity of the world!

"Your Majesty, this is not a joke!"

"I do believe her. If she says she can do it, then she can do it. Why don't you give her a chance?"
